Hi everyone – welcome to your 3 Shifts Edition [AI-generated audio version].

First, AI web browsers are officially a thing. This week saw the long-awaited debut of OpenAI’s ChatGPT Atlas browser, followed quickly by Microsoft’s “Copilot Mode” in Edge. That’s on top of recent launches from Google, Anthropic, Perplexity, Opera, and others. The browser is fast becoming the new battleground for data, distribution, and user trust.

Next, Amazon is aiming to automate 75% of its warehouse operations, and plans to roll out the template of its Shreveport robotic facility to 40 more warehouses by 2027. The Shreveport facility already has 1,000+ robots and 25% fewer workers – and falling to 50% fewer workers by next year.

Finally, China just unveiled the outline of its 15th Five-Year Plan for 2026-2030. The plan centers on technological self-reliance, advanced manufacturing, and boosting domestic consumption – all while keeping an eye on national security and its social issues (e.g. youth unemployment).

Enjoy.
